THE TWO FAIRS.
Sacramentans Appeal to the Mechanics
Institute TO Change Its Date.

Copyright, 1887, By Be alfonia associated Press.
SAN Francisco, June 7th-[Special L
At the meeting of the Board of Trustees
OF the Mechanics Institute tonight, Presi-
dent Cornwall announced that Albert
Galiatln and S. 2. Smith, of Sacramento,
were present as representatives of Sacra-
mento and the State Board of Agriculture,
with the object of endeavoring, if possible,
to effect settlement of the clash in the dates
OF the two fairs. Gallatin was offered the
courtesy of the floor, and stated that he had
performed similar service one year ago,
when it seemed the constant differences be-
tween the two institutions had been set
tied. 1t was in accordance with the un-
derstood agreement that the Mechanics
FAR would be held at later date, that the
State Board of Agriculture this year fixed
upon the 18th of September, thinking that
one week would elapse before the second
fair would open. This was, it now
seems, a misapprehenslon. If different
arrangement was contemplated the State
Board expected to be informed thereof
The people of the State regarded the con
f1lct OF dates as possible of harmonization
The Secretary of the State Board
did not believe it advisable to hold
the State Fair earlier. as the farming
community would not be through with
their labors, and could not place exhibits
at a period much sooner than that now
adopted by the State Board. To effect a
compromise, however, Gallatin stated that
the Fair could be held on the 9th, instead
of the 18th of September, which might be
more satisfactory, as then the fairs would
not be held simultaneously, and exhibitors
could remove exhibits to place them in
both fairs.
In answer to question of Trustee Spiers,
Gallatin stated that if the Mechanics Fair
we're postponed week it would be i'm
possible to hold the State Fair on the first
Monday in September
Spiers thought the announcements for
this years exhibition had gone too far to
be rescinded, and this opinion was gener-
ally concurred in by the Board.
Smith said the State Fair was essentially
agricultural, while that of the Institute
was mostly mechanical. He thought it
but just to retain the distinctiveness of the
State Fair.
As a compromise measure committee
of five, consisting of Kerr, Spiers, Stump,
Mahoney and Macdonald, was appointed

mento tomorrow morning at 10 O'clock

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
The Postal Telegraph Compan3's Suit for
Right of Way

Copyright, 1851, by bie California associated Press
OLYMPIA, June 7lh.-The second trial of
the celebrated case of the Postal Telegraph
Company against the Northern Pacific
Company, commenced in the District
Court at this place day Judge Frank
Allyn presiding. This case was once tried
before Judge Hoyt, but owing to his retire
ment from the bench shortly after the trial
he was unable to decide the many import
ant law questions involved. The charter
of the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
makes the road military and post road Of
the United States, and Congress granted-by
an Act passed in July, 1S66-the free use of
all military and post roads to all telegraph
companies who might accept the provisions
and conditions of that Act. The
Postal Telegraph Company duly accepted
all the provisions and conditions of that
Act, and hence claims the privilege of con-
stiucting its telegraph lines over the
right of way of the Northern Pacific Com
pany, as such military and post road. It
commenced the construction of lis lines,
but was resisted forcibly by the railroad
company, until by temporary injunction
of this Court the use of such force was pre-
vented, and the Postal Company was en-
abled to complete its lines.
All of this day was consumed in the
reading of the evidence and tomorrow
morning the final argument will be COM
menced by Judge Strive, for the Postal
Company. From the magnitude of the
many legal propositions involved in the
case, it is supposed that several days will
be consumed in the argument.

rapa Wine-makers Talking of Ignoring
the Pure Wine Law

ICopyigh, 1887, by tie California 4issocidted Iress]
ST.. HELENA, June 7th.-Quite a large
number of wine manufacturers here refuse
to purchase the labels required by the new
law, alleging that their past record and
their own labels are sufficient guarantees to
the public, East and West, of the quality of
their goods. There is spirited determina-
ton among those here who have wine to
sell to hold out for fair price, and resist
ance is manifested to the edicts of the three
houses in San Francisco which aspire to
monopoly of the trade, rule or ruin ap-
parently being their motto. Lately some
manufacturers near here have been offered
10 cents for wine delivered in San Fran
cisco, equivalent to about Is cents here.
This is not regarded as a compensating
offer. The wisest and most experienced
heads say that 13 cents now, with general
sale, resulting in filling the three San
Francisco warehouses, means consequently
10 cents for new wine next year. They say
that wine now cellared will command %
cents next year, consequently it is better to
hold on. The uncertainty OF this years
crop, tie difficulties attending fermenta-
ton, and other possible drawbacks, must
be taken into consideration in this estimate.

Testimony on the Examination of the
DassonviIles In Nevada City.
Copyright, 1887, by the California associated Press
NEVADA CITY, June 7th.-Nothing new
was developed this afternoon in the exam
ination of Dassonville and wife. Several
witnesses testified regarding the mental
condition of Richards subsequent to the
assault and about the time of making the
statement that Dassonville assaulted him.
William g. Richards, nephew of de-
ceased, testified that his uncle stated to
him that the reason why he did not di-
vulge the name of his assailant at first was
because he had promised not to; that his
assailant compelled him to make such
promise before leaving the latter's house
Counsel for the defense made motion
to have Mrs. Dassonville discharged, on
the ground that there was no evidence
showing her completely in the crime. The
prosecution objected, stating that it was a
conspiracy, and Mrs. Dassonville was the
principal conspirator, she having invited
Richards to her house.
The motion was denied, and the Court
adjourned at 4:40 this afternoon till 10
O'Clock tomorrow. The examination will
probably be concluded tomorrow.

SCARIFF, County Glare, June 18th.
The work of eXterminating our race is daily
going on. The people are contesting every inch
of ground with spirit Their resistance is ad-
mirable, but the odds are terribly against them
The Tory policy OF eviction and forced emigra-
grafton we resist as one man. The workingmen
in America in their own interest should protest
against this pauper labor being forced upon
their market. l would suggest that deputa-
ton of friends of our .cause, and Knights of
Labor, wait upon- the President of the United
States, aud invite his attention to Englands
policy in driving thousands of our people every
week from Ireland to the United States. Hui
manity and enlightened selfinterest unite in
urging Americans to action in this matter. We
want means to succOr the eyicted and to make
small recompense to the imprisoned. We sacri-
nee their liberty in resistance to injustice.

Arizona Settlers Being Plundered by Mex

ICopyrght, 1887, By he California associated Press
NoGALEs, June 6th.-A band of Mexican
rustlers for the last ten days have been at
work in the northern part of this valley
robbing lonely ranchers and maltre ating
unprotected persons. Last Wednesday
they visited a Chinese vegetable garden
about seven miles from here, and robbed
one Chinaman of $40. The other China
man escaped and fed to a ranchman named
Glenn, who returned with him. The rust
lers saw them coming and escaped. Last
Friday presumably the same party of rust
lers visited the ranch and stage station of
Mrs. Wood, a few miles from Caabasas.
They tied and gagged Mrs. Wood and her
sister. After firing a number of shots at
the hostler, an old man, they beat him over
the head in a most brutal manner, leaving
him for dead. They then robbed the house
of over $50 and escaped. The settlers in
that part of the valley contemplate organ
izing vigilance committee, and if the rust
lers are caught they will hang them.
